Okay, so I've been looking over the whole crop issue, and it does seem I made a huge error. I thought that peasants were given 1 food a year, not per season.However, looking back and doing the numbers, if I have to give my peasants 4 food per annum, and they only produce 4.6 per annum (and that's only factoring in the farmers - the others are eating just as much for nothing), that means the most I will ever make surplus is 0.6 food a year?Or is it that peasants produce 4.6 crops deducting their own personal share?

0.6 surplus per peasant, yes.
